This NLA briefing gave an update on the plans of London’s key cultural institutions that are helping to shape the capital’s cultural scene.

With the economy back on a more even keel, a large number of key cultural institutions are pushing ahead with major capital building programmes in an effort to bring their estates into the twenty-first century.

How are our major cultural institutions opening up to the public and bringing more people in? How are they pushing culture out into the wider city? What role do cultural buildings play in regeneration in the capital? How are they working to attract new audiences and expand their reach through their estates? What role do cultural quarters have to play in London? And what does this increased activity mean for London as a major cultural city in today’s global context?
